1 Thessalonians 5 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."

I do not know when He will be back.

All i know is that the fig tree of Israel has been in bloom for 70 years and that the prophetic timeline given to Daniel is now just about in the middle of the 70th and last week where some sort of destruction is foretold. And i don't see why not nuclear.

That is all i know.

Call me not knowledgeable or whatever but this is the best i can do.

I suppose He will return at the end of the great tribulation so perhaps in 2022 but don't hold me to it. He has the knowhow and power to delay things so if the great tribulation does not begin this winter... He will just break His words but i will not hold that against Him.

Now there are 144 000 of all the tribes of Israel who will receive special protection and power from God at the time of the great tribulation. Ten of the tribes are lost to us and probably mingled with most of the world so who knows who's from the tribe of Israel ?

Rudolf Steiner, who was deeply Christian, said that the anti-Christ impulse has to incarnate on Earth, in the same way that the Christ itself had to. He said humanity could be uneffected by this, or they could be incredibly effected. When the anti-Christ comes if he finds a bunch of Christians, there is nothing he can do essentially. But he said, this was in 1910 or so mind you, that there are two things which will make the incarnation extremely comfortable for the anti-Christ - divisions among people, and the materialistic scientific world-view. These two things have run absolutely rampant since that statement was made. Yet - "let your heart not be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You believe in God, believe also in Me" - Jesus Christ. All a demon can do is present temptation, keep the illusion of sin alive.There is nothing they can do to effect our faith in Christ, this is the choice of a soul - they would "have no power over this unless it was given unto them from Above". Faith in Christ and everything that He is and He stands for will save the soul from darkness

Is Jesus placing Himself on the same playing field and level as God ? Absolutely !

But how can that be ? Is not God one ? Two Gods ?

God is alot greater and not exactly like you and me.

Look the very Name of God got two persons and a hand and a nail.

One person driving a nail into the hand of the other person.

John 20 24 "Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”

So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

About how they can do research in how to get same sex parents to have kids yet not solve the question of our diseases is easy: rich people usually sponsor research and they want depopulation. Curing diseases doesnt depopulate so lets direct the attention elsewhere.. Its foul as heck!

By the way, I have to share this guy with you. He's from Israel and must be the most intelligent man I've ever listened to.

His name is Amir Tsarfati and wow does he know things! Funny thing is, he teaches about the end times and he lives on the hill of Armageddon with a view over whats to come! God has a sense of humour alright.

Hey! Sorry it's been a little while, but thank you all and I will really read and devote some time to all this when I can.

King, I was raised prosperity gospel in addition to just church hopping because my parents never really settled anywhere, but Mom loved Kenneth Copeland and his ilk. You're right and it's leading many astray. Word of Faith (name it and claim it) morphed into New Apostolic Reformation which I honestly loved because I got super into International House of Prayer. It seemed like a cool almost Protestant convent or community/communal living and I wanted to try it, but God kept me out of getting that far into it since it required not working (there's a verse about if you don't work you don't eat) and I couldn't justify doing more than visiting and briefly supporting a family there who eventually left that movement (smart family).

I saw the first season of American Horror Story and had to fast forward through tbe opening credits since even that jarred my spirit. So disturbing. Was a believer but was more into TV and trying to please man over God. It was the haunted house one where the pregnant woman ends up having a demonic baby or something as well as a normal baby.

I still like PBS/BBC's Call the Midwife but saw recently that it deviates from Jennifer Worth's (nee Jenny Lee) story to including lesbians in a later season!?! Ugh. I'm just going to watch through the third season when Jenny Lee's character leaves. Downton Abbey and Victoria have gone down that road, too. It is an agenda being pushed on TV viewera.

Yes, it is truly a crazy time to be living in.

Most recently I went to Hallmark with one of my parents as a favor to that parent and considered buying a friend a gift, but hesitated. I turned around and saw voodoo babiea or something like it, trying to make voodoo cute and harmless. It's not cute and harmless. That disturbed me so much that I went and sat out in the car and listened to praise music for a few minutes. I would expect voodoo dolls and worse stuff in Spencer's Gifts since that store is almost purposely offensive, but Hallmark? Well, that's another store not to shop at.

Rudolph Steiner was not a Christian. He was an anthroposophist . There is a huge difference between that and being any kind of theist. I was a Steiner teacher, so I have seen a lot of his theory in action.

I’m new here, to the forums anyway. I’m not new to the VC website. I thought I would jump in on this thread because the topic draws me in so.

I would consider myself pre-trib, but not rabidly so. I have studied the Word and see how different conclusions can be drawn.

I’ve been homeschooling my children for nearly 20 years and oddly my recognition of deep changes in our culture have come through that. I was a member of and posted on a homeschool forum for many years and recognized the hatred and animosity towards Christians, Christianity, and even righteousness grow there to such levels that I had to walk away. What once was a place that Christian homeschool mothers could bounce ideas off of one another in how to raise their children for Christ had become a place that speaking of such things drew vitriolic hatred. The change was gradual at first and then over night it became unbearable. It really disturbed my spirit for a while and I finally realized it was a smaller picture of the anti-Christ spirit at large. It shook me for a while because I felt I was the only one seeing the demonic take shape in such a way.

I teach children at church. Once per year, a family from Sweden would come and stay for a month and I would have their children in my class. The father came in to the class as well so he could translate for his children When I took them to the playground once while the family was here, about seven-ish years ago, he came to talk to me, discussing God’s Word and the times. He was a strong Christian, knew the Word of God, and was a stranger and out of place in Sweden due to the godlessness there. People were amazed there at his knowledge of what was going on in the world and what would happen next, because he was reading prophecy and basing his views on the Bible, which was just not normal there. He told me then that he felt our country would be like theirs some day, godless and secular. He asked about my kids and school. He was blown away by us homeschooling and said they would not be allowed to there. They had to ask permission to remove their kids from school for a month to visit the US. I cannot remember all we discussed. I remember the Lord powerfully prompting me to pay attention. This man was letting me know that trouble was coming here. I mean, truly, trouble had already begun but not to the level we have now.

In 1989, I was in college and was very young. Two moms were in school with me. They were in their thirties and had elementary-aged kids. They brought papers for us to read regarding the future homosexual push that would come in the schools. It drew out the plan for normalizing it and training kids in it. We were all shocked. That was unheard of and honestly just unbelievable to us all. I couldn’t wrap my mind around such a world that would call good something that God has called evil. Here I am, nearly thirty years later, my husband and I raising our children to know Truth and pushing back against a culture that calls good evil and evil good.

Many people need to open their eyes and see what time it is. People who know what time it is should not just be "used to it" but let it hit them again. I have unsaved friends, family members and they may have far less time left to respond to the gospel than they realise.

I watched this just now and I wanted to share it with you all. The baptism of anguish.

I am Swedish, have been living here all my 41 year old life and can confirm every bit of what that man said. Sweden is INCREDIBLY godless and what rules here is atheism. If you so much as mention you're a believer, you're immediately stamped as mentally ill and extremely gullible for believng in "fairytales". They will actually yell at you for it and hate your guts.

Usually you also will get jumped like "I cant believe you believe in old stories like that! They're fairytales! A man in the clouds, you're insane!" So you're immediately stamped as mentally unstable, extremely naive and gullible or that theres just something seriously wrong with you. Imagine being a christian in this country. And not only that, we're one of the two worldleading (as far as I know) countries when it comes to the chip aswell, the mark of the beast if you will. We have 100.000 chipped, they hold parties aswell, so called "Chipster parties" They call themselves chipsters. It's everything from IT companies to regular companies to regular Joe for the fun of it, to our countries railroad company SJ (Swedish Ironrails) that have chipped their staff and travelers. This is no joke anymore! My own landlord went into the papers about having been chipped in not only one hand but TWO because its too much of an inconvenience to carry keyes. BOTH hands! I've been living within this landlords apartments for 11 years now and it's horrible to live here. They have brought in so many muslims that if you're swedish, you get harrassed day and night because the muslims want you out so they can take over the apartments and live close to each other. In this house the family that wants mine has 8 apartments. When I move, they'll have 9. And of course the landlord is on their side so complaining will not help. I've even been to court about it which calmed things down since I won and the landlord got scared but in the long run..they will win.
And should I say anything about this, I get called a racist so I cant call it out either. I will have to give up my dream home and move because of this and I wont be the first, the last place I lived they chased away two stories of swedes and here the muslims have every apartment except for four, one of them being mine.

My point here being that good is evil and evil is good. If there were any justice the landlord would act and listen if someone gets harrassed, not take the harrassers side because theres more of them than the victim. You cant win with this system!

Just as you say and just as the bible says it would be in the end times, good is evil and evil good. Again as you say about things happening now (and have been for quite a while) that one couldnt believe before.. Homosexuality is considered good, changing your gender is a great thing, believing in god and obeying his laws is considered madness, druguse has become legal and ugh..I cant even mention it all.

I'm so sick of it I'm praying every day it will be over soon. And you know the bible talks about Jesus apologizing to us for these times, that we have to live and see this, so he knows how offending it is.

That man is right about the swedish school system aswell. If you dont send your kid to school, the police will come home and get the kid and put it in school and then social services will get involved in how you're raising it and why you're doing what you're doing and usually it ends up with the family losing custody of their children and the state raising them. It's a too common thing here. In the cases where it's for the best, I dont argue (if a child suffers) but in cases of where its to not have the child involved with the regular school system I absolutely agree with the parents. What do they learn in school? Nothing! Back in my day they at least had time for the kids and taught them but now I see kid after kid ending school and they cant even spell in their own language and they have no knowledge of anything because the classes are so big and the teacher dont have time to teach them all.

I really wish to thank you for you telling us about your experience, so many christians have stuck their heads in the sand and go "Whaaat? I havent noticed anything wrong" because theyre too scared to mention it. Instead they've adapted to this filth. Thank you for standing up for your belief and protesting!

Wow! This is just so eye-opening. I grieve that you have to deal with this! What you have said makes some of my interaction with that man make sense. The Spirit of God was powerful in him, and I believe it is due to having to stand so strongly against the tide. On the one hand, he was awed by the number of believers he was encountering here in Texas, the solid teaching at our church, and the freedom we have to live out our faith; on the other hand, I think he was recognizing that the people here take it for granted and are blind in many ways. I know I’m blind to things and will continue to be so if I don’t look and listen to other Christians and what they are facing!

As a believer, a mom, and a reader, I have read multiple books to my kids on church history, missions, those who have faced persecution for their faith. So so many of the best teachers and theologians and warriors of the faith have come from Europe, and it grieves me to see the godlessness now.

I will pray for you as you stand against the evil there. God is certainly separating the sheep from the goats in these times.

Ah, I knew Sweden was liberal but I had no idea as to the extent. You're a great example though of how these increasingly dark times seem to strengthen the faith of many believers.

It is very much like this, yes. There seems to have formed two camps; one of Gods soldiers and one of the atheists. The bible says somewhere that in the end times the righteous will get more righteous and the evil more evil and this is true to the very last word.

When I say men, I mean the average man in society, not the christian men that believe and live according to Gods laws. What I see out about this is that men coming with their wife or girlfriend and a stroller, the man openly (he doesnt even care that his woman sees him doing this) looks at other women.

Men have always wanted to look at more of that (i.e. women) - than they have eyes to see with. This is why their pupils rotate so much. They probably aren't much different now in a venus-versus-mars sort of comparison, but today they are less likely to care about what they're doing or whether someone else does or doesn't like it. That is true, and maybe is showing an increase in narcissistic behaviours.
